[QUOTE="Mavik, post: 722545, member: 23643"] AP Racing and Brembo 6 potters on the E92 335i, running 235 fronts and 265 rears (I think one may have been running 275). The ones above stopped earlier by about 3m compared to the 335i on stock brakes. Two 320d with the M Performance brakes stop only about 1 metre compared to the stock brakes. The aftermarket brakes have varying uses, if you use them for normal day to day driving, like in stop start traffic, it won't play so much difference versus stock brakes. If for rempits and winding and twisty roads where you like to do a lot of late braking then yes, having them aftermarket brakes do help, a lot. Also when choosing these after market brakes, you need to ensure the brake biasing is set correct on the car as well otherwise you throw the car out of balance. I drove a couple of cars with performance brakes (e.g. stoptech 4potters, R monoblock brakes, etc..ect..) during track days and suffer quite a fair bit of varying issues when it isn't set up properly. Learn it the hard way by spinning the cars a couple of times haha. At the end of the day, it's up to you why you upgrade brakes, I know lota of people upgrade it specifically because how nice it looks hahaha, which I totally agree for some. If got budget why not hehehe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
